Doctor Henry Morgan may be immortal but his TV show isn’t. ABC has cancelled the Forever TV series after one season of 22 episodes.
On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner (Ioan Gruffudd) can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out the how or the why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.
The series debuted last September to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.26 million viewers. The ratings grew for episode two but they started falling after that.
Though the Forever series had some very passionate fans, that devotion didn’t translate into positive ratings. The numbers were pretty poor for much of the season and the show ended up averaging a 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million viewers.
As a result, ABC has decided against ordering a second season of Forever. The last episode aired earlier this week and unfortunately left viewers with lots of unanswered questions.
What do you think? Did you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think it didn’t catch on with a larger audience?
Loved the show. Bring it back & cancel another program.
Please bring back Forever! It was an amazing tv show and I’m positive the ratings would’ve soared in a season two! There should be a rule against cancelling shows that leave on cliff hangers too!
I loved Forever! I usually don’t watch television but this how had my attention. I enjoyed the relationships between the characters and the flashbacks always added to the story. I will mss this show.
This show should have never been cancelled! My husband usually does not get hooked on series programs but he was addicted to this show & so was I , Please re-consider, I’m sure there has to be some mis-understanding on the ratings ! Please check it out.
Thanks for your re-consideration. 🙂
So disappointed that ABC cancelled Forever. Because of that I am switching networks – never will watch any ABC show again!
I and my husband really enjoy “Forever”, the flashbacks, the history, the interesting relationships of the characters. Can’t believe it won’t be coming back! Such a great break from all the CSIs and reality shows! Then to see how diet. Martinez reacts to the story!!!! I can’t believe it’s cancelled . Shameful!
i am totally disgusted with ABC for cancelling FOREVER. I was just with a bunch of my friends yesterday and we were discussing TV programs and we are all upset you have cancelled FOREVER. ‘There are only a few programs that really interest me and FOREVER is one of them.! The only crap you let on TV are the reality shows and anything with blood and violence! CBS has programs all over you. You dumped Wheel of Fortune but CBS picked it up. This is a waste of my time. I’m only one person…what do you care
I think Forever was great and should have been continued. The shows that seem make it with your network usually suck. I hate game shows and I hate reality shows. You always cancel the good ones.
Sometimes good shows get low ratings because they’re stuck in another network’s prime time powerhouse. Forever was a very good show, one I started watching because I got a little tired of Person of Interest on CBS. I think Forever in another time slot might have done quite well. It’s an interesting show, intelligent and compassionate and a lot of fun to watch.
I Loved Forever!!!! It Had everything drama, love stories, mystery, crime,, familyn and so much more. It was a show that i looked forward to after a long day at work. I really hope they reconsider or have another network to air it. It could also be a summer time show.
PLEASE BRING FOREVER BACK!!!!!
thought it was an excellent show. Disappointed to hear it is cancelled. I found the plots well done and it was appointment viewing for me.
I think it should have been renewed. My whole family and I looked forward to watching it every Tuesday when it came out. It was very disappointing to hear it was canceled. I think it would have done extremely well with a bit more advertising. I wish there was a season 2 because it was a great show and was fun to watch!
I think it was a big mistake to cancel Forever it was a good show and I know many who watched it and looked forward to seeing it maybe it should have been given another chance and put on a different night but I dont think it should have been taken off it had more to be seen, it seems whenever someone likes a show its taken off, and some of the shows you have left on are stupid and not story just plain hogwash of course this is my opinion and I dont count…thanks for your time
Loved the show. it was original: I never stopped watching. I always recored when I was not home and watched later. I was looking forward to see the next season.
Loved this show too. Interesting and original. I to recorded to watch when convenient. How can the bigwigs know proper ratings now if people record so many shows to watch at a time that suits them ?
Comment is right How can you know he rating people do record.
Can you try this at a different time Their are two many reality shows. Please re think
